The I Am Covenant Within
2 Samuel 7:24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse says God has confirmed Israel to Himself as a people forever. It notes that the Lord has become their God.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's voice, Israel is not a distant nation but a state of consciousness named by your attention. The 'people' are the inhabitants of your inner atmosphere—the loyalties you cultivate to the idea that you are already in covenant with the I AM. When the text says God has confirmed to Himself, it means you, as awareness, affirm this relationship within, and it becomes established beyond time. The I AM does not fetch God from outside; God is your own awareness becoming real as the feeling of possession, security, and fidelity. The word 'forever' points to an eternal now you can inhabit by assuming the feeling that God is your God and you are His people in present consciousness. The 'land' is your inner kingdom, the daily life that flows from that recognition. When you align with this inner covenant, you dissolve fear, and your experiences reflect a loyal, enduring companionship with the divine I AM.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the I AM as your present God; feel it real until the sense of separation dissolves.
